Style Icon: Ellen Parsons

Rose Byrne

I’ve been a fan of the show Damages since it began in 2007. Season two just started up and is getting better and better. Especially the lovely Rose Byrne’s strong character Ellen Parsons (and her wardrobe!). I adore her upgraded professional glam look. Be sure to catch an episode on FX on Wednesdays @ 10pm.

My version:

In lieu of Ellen, here’s a fabulous song from the show that suits her quite well considering the sequence of events.

Forever 21

Forever21

Forever21 has all kinds of new cuteness! Classy, flirty & feminine are three key words that come to mind when viewing their new lines. I keep going back for more. I just bought two adorable sweaters & flats. The photo does the shoes no justice. They are way brighter. The yellow sweater also comes in grey & white and the shoes also come in pink, blue & orange. My friend got the neon pink ones. :)

Free Goodies

Pay a visit to Macy’s, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, etc. to pick up a free product from Chanel, Dior, Lancome, Estee Lauder, Clinique, Guerlain, Clarins & etc. This giveaway is possible due to claims of price fixing. The settlement requires them to give away $175 million in makeup to customers who purchased a product between 1994 and 2003. It started on the 20th and is going on until the 26th, or until they run out. A friend and I went to Macy’s last night and the only remaining products available were Clinique’s Moisture Surge face cream (nearly a $50 value) & Estee Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair face serum (also nearly a $50 value). I picked Estee Lauder & my friend picked Clinique. I can’t wait to try it out!

Valentine’s Day

Whether you have a Valentine or just like to bash this day with friends, you can still look cute while doing so. Of course, red and pink are the signature colors, but I think purple and yellow are romantic for this occasion. Or black to go for a sexy look or to boycott V-Day. I’m probably either going with a little black dress with my neon pink heels or a lacy black top with a purple chiffon skirt. The boyfriend and I, as usual, are doing dinner and the art museum in Atlanta. Which is one of my favorite places. Every Valentine’s Day, the High Museum of Art does an evening of romance with live music, dancing, drinks, pampering & freedom to roam around the entire museum all for $40 a couple or $25 per person and lasts from 6-10pm. I love it!

Here are some lovely dress options I found via asos.com.

My Bloody Valentine 3D

My Bloody Valentine 3D

The boyfriend, some friends and I thought it would be entertaining to attend the last showing of My Bloody Valentine 3D on opening night. If only for the 3D experience. The movie was actually pretty impressive. Tons of gore for those of us slightly obsessed with horror films, written and put together very well, interesting twist and has a fun cast. It was worth it to pay the extra $3. The effects were awesome. I thoroughly enjoyed this remake and recommend that you jump on the 3D bandwagon, as well. Just proceed with caution. It’s definitely rated R for more than one reason.

Material Girl

While browsing elle.com, I found some pretty amazing outfits and fell in love. My favorite:

Kate Hudson Elle Cover

I see her in a different light now with her bold new fashion choices. I really want the saucy little yellow number she’s wearing on Elle’s new cover. Check out the magazine or website for more on Miss Hudson.

Katie Holmes for Miu Miu Spring 2009

I’m loving the idea of this ad campaign. They really transformed sweet little Katie into a fierce model in these photos. I can’t wait to see the rest.

Beach Bunny Swimwear

I’ve been a fan of this swimwear for a couple of years now, since a friend introduced it to me. Inspired by lingerie, these sexy bikinis are sure to turn heads! Being an avid collector of both lingerie and bikinis, I’m very tempted to invest in one of these.

Every Little Counts

EveryLittleCounts

I adore this website. Their feminine, flirty tees are perfect for the lustfully romantic at heart. They would help make super cute Valentine’s Day outfits! My favorites are the Slave to Love and Make Out tees.
